The IIT Madras controversy

HRD ministry is an important ministry. It should not have acted in this careless manner Human resource development process includes the methods to facilitate free thinking and free expression on matters of historic, social, cultural and economic and political matters . On the one side The BJP is making bombastic announcement about Skill development among the youth and on the other hand wants to kill the free thinking and analytical skills of the students who are interested in learning and discussing about the various ideologies of the thinkers of India . if the IIT authorities are willingly want to surrender their autonomy to the whims and fancies of intolerant political leaders , instead of protection the students right to seek knowledge from various sources , it is a sad day for higher education position in India. How many times any central ministry has given attention to unanimous letters complaining about something and taken such a speedy action ? It is very sad day that the Madras IIT Director has taken immediate action on the students study circle, instead of defending their right to learn different ideologies of great thinkers of India, discuss about them and express their opinion of them . People who constantly criticise the Emergency declaration by Indira Gandhi can not stealthily and slowly introduce undemocratic methods . If the student’s right to free expression on any matter is stiffed in this manner , the BJP should stop talking about quality of higher education.
